The tutorials presented within are divided into two sections (Basic and Advanced).  

The Basic Tutorials demonstrate how to develop a complete mini application.  This includes:

• registering the application and its data sources;

• creating screens (Login, Listing and Details);

• linking screens; and finally

• calling the application.

The Advanced Tutorials provide insight on how to use the more sophisticated features of Snapp MX.  

In the Forms sub-section we discuss:

• Compound Selects (linking a parent Dropdown Select field so it constrains the options available in a child Dropdown Select);

• Constrained Lookups (creating a conditional statement that reduces the options available in a Dropdown Select field);

• Custom Formatters (creating mini SWF files that properly format the data entered into a Text Input field);

• Pop-up Selects (creating a secondary selection screen used to perform more complex selections); and

• Tabbed Windows.

In the Lists sub-section we discuss:

• Child Lists (linking a parent List container so it constrains the records displayed in a child List);

• Color Coding Rows (setting the background color of records displayed in a List based on a field value);

• Column Display Mappings (dynamically altering the values displayed within a row column);

• Custom List Targets (setting the screen called when a record is clicked in a List based on a field value);

• From Date / To Date Filters (filtering the records displayed in a List by a date range); and

• Document Lists (demonstrating how files lists are linked to a table record).

In the Trees sub-section we discuss:

• Dynamic Tree Nodes (obtaining Tree nodes from database table/view values); and

• Static Tree Nodes (defining Tree node values manually).

In the Media sub-section we discuss:

• Adding Dynamic Images (how to associate one or more images with a specific record in a database);

• Embedded Flash Movies (how to insert a .SWF file and interact with it);

• Mouse-Overs w/Hyperlink (how to create graphical buttons); and

• Moving Labels (how to use Triggers to move text around).

In the Reports & Charts sub-section we discuss:

• Report Basics (the techniques used to create a report);

• Simple Charting (how to create a 2-D Bar chart).

In the Variables sub-section we discuss:

• Login Variables (how to create variables that are global to a given application); and

• Screen Variables (how to add variables to a given screen to supplement existing data).

In the Triggers sub-section we discuss:

• On Load Triggers (tests and actions that can alter a screen before it is displayed);

• On Change Triggers (tests and actions that can alter a screen before it is displayed or when data is updated); and

• On Click Triggers (tests and actions that can alter a screen when a Button, Label or Image is clicked).
